Answer:

1.    x = 3√10     2.  x = 5      3.   x = 6√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use <u>Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem</u>:

If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment.

1.  In this circle, DB is a tangent and DA is a secant.  They intersect at point D.

So  DB² = DC x DA

    x² = 5 x (5 + 13)

    x² = 90

     x = √90 = 3√10

2.  In this circle, FE is a tangent and FH is a secant.  They intersect at point F.

So  FE² = FG x FH

      10² = x x 20

     100 = 20x

         x = 5

3.  In this circle, NM is a tangent and NP is a secant.  They intersect at point N.

So  NM² = NO x NP

    x² = 4 x (4 + 14)

    x² = 72

     x = √72 = 6√2

Oksi-84 [34.3K]
12ab will be the right answer.

Since 24a^3 = 12ab(2a^2)

And 36ab^2 = 12ab(3b)

3x – 2y = 17 <br> –2x – 5y = 14 <br> Solve using Elimination Please show work
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The solution is x=3 , y=-4 or (3,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations (1 and 2) are:

3x- 2y = 17\\-2x -5y = 14

To solve a system of equation with elimination method, the co-efficients of one of the variables has to be equated and then the equations are added or subtracted to get an equation in one variable.

Multiplying equation 1 by 2:

2(3x-2y) = 2*17\\6x-4y = 34\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Multiplying equation 2 by 3

3(-2x-5y) = 3*14\\-6x-15y = 42\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 4

Adding equation 3 and 4

(6x-4y) + (-6x-15y) = 34+42\\6x-4y-6x-15y = 76\\-19y = 76\\\frac{-19y}{-19} = \frac{76}{-19}\\y = -4\\

Putting y = -4 in equation 1

3x-2(-4) = 17\\3x+8 = 17\\3x = 17-8\\3x = 9\\\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}\\x = 3

Hence,

The solution is x=3 , y=-4 or (3,-4)
